I spent over 4 hours completing a detailed profile (29+ years in finance, real cases with quantified impact). The application was declined with a generic statement that there was “not enough information” to evaluate my experience.

• FinTech — mitigated ~$1M in penalties and churn; prevented 50%+ revenue decline.

Capital preservation is always the priority.
